but.but..but...I don't think turkey's COME that large! (We usually do a 24 lb and a 20 lb, and by saturday morning all that is left is soup. It used to be by friday lunch, but the kids are in college. Of course, if my Dad is visiting, then there's no soup either, because he won't let us use the carcase for soup, as that's his traditional "snack" Thursday night.

we "gotta" get how to do correct line breaks into some sort of FAQ...M - where you would normaly do a line break, add open-angle-bracket BR close-angle-bracket.

Recipe:
"Stuffies" (Stuffed Quahogs)

6 LARGE quahogs
steam until just opened in as little liquid as possible. If desired use white wine, it adds to the flavour.
remove meat and chop. Reserve the shells. combine chopped meat, juices and remaining steaming liquid in bowl.
add an equal quantity of bread crumbs
Add:1/4 the amount of chopped onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Tabasco (or red pepper) sauce to taste
salt and pepper to taste
stir well to combine.

Scrub the reserved shell, seperating the valves. Fill As many of the reserved shells as possible with the mixture, mounding the stuffing up. Place on a baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F. until heated through (about 1/2 hour) Serve with lemon and melted butter.

Oh my goodness! Sorry about the translation, specifically the ingredient lists. I work on a Mac--didn't realize that one hard return is not enough. (But two is too many.) Can anybody help with directions before I post another recipe?

MMario--Thanksgiving...you're supposed to buy a turkey 4 times too large!! Then, at least in my house, you hafta go back in the kitchen and cut off some leftover meat and HIDE IT in the fridge...disguise it as something else. Home-baked bread products I'm not so successful with. Good luck.

I have always wanted to live in a household that actually had leftover meat.

Here's one of my favorites...just in time, too.

Orzo , Black Bean and Turkey Salad (serves 3-4...well it depends if you're willing to share)

1-2/3 cups onions, chopped 1 clove garlic, chopped olive oil 4 cups red, green a/o yellow peppers, chopped 1/2 cup water, or broth, or sherry 1/2 frozen corn 1 cup uncooked orzo (pasta) 1 can black beans, drained 1-1/2 cup (leftover) cooked turkey, in bite size pieces

Dressing: 2 tsp olive oil 2 Tbl red wine vinegar 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes 1 tsp cumin 1/2 tsp tumeric

Bring water to boil for pasta. Saute onion and garlic in a little olive oil over medium high heat. Add peppers after a little while, and when onions soften add water/broth/sherry and reduce heat. Just before peppers are done, add corn and beans (and turkey if you want it heated) and cook just to heat through. In the midst of this, cook the pasta. Whisk dressing ingredients together. Put drained pasta and vegies/turkey/beans in a bowl and toss together. Enjoy!

You can vary the amounts of vegies/beans/turkey. You can use smoked turkey if you like. The dressing is what makes it yummy.

I hate cooking (though I love eating)! But the following recipe should come in handy for those who consider a day without garlic wasted.

1 kg fresh garlic

for the marinade:
0,33 l herb vinegar (?)
0,33 l olive oil
0,33 l rum
3 tbsp salt (or less)
3 tbsp sugar (or more)
3 tbsp herbs provençales
1-2 tbsp curry powder
1-2 tbsp. powdered red peppers
2-5 chilis (or chili powder)

Mix the ingredients for the marinade in a saucepan, stir thoroughly, bring briefly to the boil.
Add the peeled garlic cloves to the boiling marinade, leave to cook 2-5 mins.
After cooling put in a covered jar and leave to marinate for 8 days.
